My Project

I am honored to teach 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade AUT students in a special day core curriculum class. They have loads of energy and love participating and engaging in their learning.

Students will benefit from flexible seating for the carpet area where they play, have discussions, and enjoy reading.

Students will benefit from comfortable headsets with a mic to use the speech-to-text technology while working on assignments. Students will benefit from a positive environment with a growth mindset motivation and clipboards to use at their desks or on the carpet. Students will love to discuss SEL topics with partners and in small groups and enjoy sensory toys that help keep calm bodies. Students will enjoy having PE equipment to enjoy building their physical abilities.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Thank you in advance for your support, we appreciate your time and your well wishes.
